Use of Credit Card

We accept major credit cards, and the credit card holder must be one of the passengers. We accept credit cards issued in countries as specified during the booking process. Your credit card will be debited when you click on the ‘Purchase Now’ button. If you do not have a credit card, you may choose to pay in cash while visiting one of our offices.

Security

We will take all reasonable measures to insure information you transmit to us using the Web Site will remain confidential and protected from unauthorized access. Despite those measures, we do not warrant unauthorized access to that information can never happen. We will not be liable for any such unauthorized access unless caused solely by our gross negligence, in which event you will be entitled to compensation up to a maximum of the value of the services purchased by you.

Security Information

To insure secure online payment and all other transactions of personal data, the Web Site uses a technology called SSL (Secure Socket Layer). SSL encrypts all communications between your computer and our server so that the information can only be read and understood by us. Usually a closed lock on your browser window shows a secure connection. For further information, please consult your browser’s security specifications. If your browser is equipped with SSL your transaction will automatically be secured. The common standard in the Internet to signal a secure site is a closed lock at the bottom of the browser. As long as the lock is displayed closed your information is secure and encrypted to avoid abuse. If you click the secure transaction link and still cannot see the closed lock, the reason may be that the window is in nested in another frame. To check that you have a secure connection (in Internet Explorer), click the right mouse button and properties, then certificates. Then you will see if the connection is secure or not. Another way (in Netscape Navigator) is to click the right mouse button and 'view frame info' at the bottom of the text you will see security information.

Children

We do not knowingly solicit or collect Personal Information from or about children or knowingly market our products or services to children without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If we become aware that the person submitting Personal Information, through any part of our Web Site, is a child, we will use reasonable efforts to delete that Personal Information from our files as soon as possible. If a parent or legal guardian requests review or deletion of Personal Information about their child before we have discovered and deleted the Personal Information, then we will of course honour that request. We do not seek to collect any Personal Information about children other than the Personal Information which is required when making an on-line booking for a child which must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian.

Passports

Please insure you have a passport valid for the duration of your trip. (Some destinations require your passport be valid for a certain length of time; in general, 6 months after completion of travel). You may also be required to obtain a visa for some destinations and it is your responsibility to do so.

When making a booking you must ensure that your name (and the name of any person(s) for whom you are making a booking) matches exactly the name as it appears in your (or the person(s) for whom you are making the booking’s) passport.

If you require any further information on passport or visa requirements, please contact one of our local offices or the embassy of the country to which you will be traveling.

A failure to travel with the correct documentation could result in the passenger being refused travel, entry to the country of their destination or stop-over, deportation or incarceration and in such circumstance(s) you will be solely responsible for any cost, loss or damage which you or we (or our agents or servants) incur.

Airport Taxes

Some airports will levy an airport departure tax, which is payable by passengers at the airport locally. Information on these charges is not given through our quoted fares and is your sole responsibility.

Health/Insurance Requirements

Immunization may be recommended or required for your destination or stopover points - please check this with your doctor. We recommend the purchase of adequate travel insurance for all overseas travel.
